EXHIBIT 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

            LOUDEYE EXPECTS TO FILE SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q SHORTLY;

                     RECEIVES EXPECTED NASDAQ NOTIFICATION

SEATTLE, WA - AUGUST 30, 2004 - Loudeye Corp. (Nasdaq: LOUD, LOUDE), a worldwide
leader in business-to-business digital media solutions, previously disclosed
that it was unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended June 30, 2004 because it required additional time to complete the
purchase accounting for its June 2004 acquisition of On Demand Distribution
Limited in accordance with SFAS No. 141 (Business Combinations). Loudeye stated
today that it expects to file the Quarterly Report shortly.

Due to its delay in filing, on August 24, 2004 Loudeye received a letter from
the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, indicating that Loudeye had failed to
timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30,
2004, as required by NASD Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). The delisting
notification is standard procedure when a Nasdaq listed company fails to
complete a required filing in a timely manner. As a result of Loudeye's filing
delinquency, the fifth character "E" was appended to its ticker symbol.
Accordingly, Loudeye's ticker symbol was changed from "LOUD" to "LOUDE" at the
opening of business on August 26, 2004. The Company expects its ticker symbol
will revert back to "LOUD" shortly after it files its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and meets its requirements under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

To ensure it remains listed until it can file its Quarterly Report and regain
compliance with all applicable listing standards, Loudeye took the additional
step to file an appeal of the delisting notification to the NASDAQ Listings
Qualifications Panel. The filing of this appeal will prevent the delisting of
Loudeye's securities until Loudeye regains compliance with all applicable
listing standards through the filing of its Quarterly Report or, should that not
occur, pending the Panel's decision. As a result of Loudeye's expectation to
file the Quarterly Report shortly, Loudeye expects to become compliant with the
applicable Nasdaq listing requirements prior to the completion of the appeals
process.
